It was returned to New York nine hours and seven minutes later bv airmail.

Why does a cat always, or at least nearly always, alight upon all fours when it falls? A Dutch scientist, Prof. Magnus, has been trying o ans wer this question satisfactorily. Near ly all of us have some time in our lives made the experiment of turning a cat upside down and dropping it to the ground to see it right itself while falling and then land on its feet. And the cat doesn’t seem to j mind much. It is conscious of the J fact that it has the odd ability to ! change the direction of its body while i falling. Prof. Magnus says it is pure- I ly a mechanical or reflex action which | the cat performs just as unconscious j ly as we close our eyes when some | body suddenly makes a pass at us. | By performing an operation on a cat’s brain Prof. Magnus was able to de prive the cat of its ability to per form any conscious action whatever. When the cat was tossed in the air it fell on all fours just the same as it did before the operation. The sea horse, according to my thology, was a huge monster of the deep with a head and fore parts like a horse and q tail like a fish or whale. In ancient sculpture and paint ings the sea horse was commonly rep resented as attached to the chariots of Neptune or the Tritons. Os course no such creature ever existed. But there are many species of fish which slightly resemble horses. Technically they are called “Hippocampi.” Cant. Geo. H. Wilkins, who was a member of the Canadian artic expe dition and biologist of the Quest ex oedition to- the antartic, has been miss ing since last November when he was at Crocodile Creek in Arnhem Land, Australia, on his way around the \ Northwest coast. He has just been | heard from. He recently passed through Townsville in Queensland on | his way to Brisbane. Only a short J time ago Capt. Wilkin’s’ brother pe titioned the Australian government to send out an expedition to search for the missing explorer. The ordinary earth worm has a i memory which can be trained. This is • shown by recent experiments. A large number of worms were put in a pas sage shaped like the letter “T.” The ; entire passage was covered with glass . making it possible to observe the movements of the worms. When the worms came to the parting of the /vays about half of them turned to the left and the other half to the right. The apparatus was then arranged so that the worms which took the left hand route received a shock of elec tricity. At first the shock seemed to have no effect on the worms, but after it had been repeated several hundred times all the worms took the right hand route. Later the shock was given to the worms as they started into the right hand passage. They learned to shift to the other passage in only about 60 trials, which shows that the memory of an earth worm can be trained to some ex tent at least. An earthwarm has no brain in the ordinary sense of the I word. Its nervous system consists of nerve centers connected by nerve fibers. Dr. Mangold, a German zoologist, says that earthworms make a noise loud enough to be heard 35 feet away. Their “song” frquently falls into a j “syncopated rhythm startling reminis- i cent of jazz.” He compares the worm’s | voice with the percussion of a tiny j hammer on a very thin membrane. t j If science would take more care re j garding the fundamental needs and sensitive spots of human beings,” says Prof. Adolph Meyer, of Johns Hopkins university, “it would gain the confidence of the average per son—a thing that it has failed to do thus far.” A recent explorer in the Mtlay! | pninsula found what is known as the | vest pocket deer. Measured from horn ■ to hoof this tiny animal is only sev- \ j en inches high. | j ORDER FOR SPECIAL ELECTION. —, North Carolina, Chatham county: Office of the Board of County Commissioners of Chatham coun ty.
